Delhi Capitals off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has heaped praise on Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, saying the youngster is absolutely amazing to watch. He said that it will be a challenge for his team as Chennai’s batting is in good shape.
“Look, I think CSK have some batsmen who look like golden form. I don’t know what else to say. The way Ruturaj Gaikwad is batting, it is amazing to watch. I have enjoyed every single moment of how he had to bat. And it’s going to be a challenge, isn’t it?,” Ashwin said in a video posted by the franchise on Monday.
Gaikwad has been one of the exceptional performers in the second leg of IPL 2021. The Pune-based opener is second on the run-scorers’ list, with 508 runs in 12 matches at an average of 50.80 and a strike rate of 140.33. Gaikwad set the stage on fire after scoring an unbeaten 101 against Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Ahead of the match against Chennai on Monday, Ashwin remarked that Chennai batted deep and aggressive, which they faced during the first half of the tournament in India. “CSK batted deep, batted aggressively. He batted aggressively against us at the Wankhede as well. Will take place at Dubai Stadium. So the pitch has been good in Dubai, so I am hoping for a very good batting dish out game. Looking forward to the challenge.”
Chennai and Delhi, occupying the top two spots on the points table, a match is widely expected to decide who will finish first on the points table.
